HP E6276A MPEGscope DVB

Product Summary

The race to the digitial video broadcast future is a race for quality. Being able to deliver reliable MPEG-2 transmission equipment and set-top boxes, efficiently deploy equipment to the field, and deliver flawless video service to end-users are all keys to successs.

The new HP E6276A MPEGscope DVB is designed specifically for Digital Video Broadcast systems and networks. It lets you monitor events and statistics as they occur, and enables you to verify MPEG-2 implementation quickly.

Real-time testing and monitoring is critical for companies seeking to increase reliability, and deliver MPEG-based digital video systems faster, and with less frustration. With the MPEGscope DVB, you can obtain instantaneous test results, eliminating the time-consuming and redundant procedures associated with capturing, saving and analyzing MPEG-2 data via post-processing test applications.

In operational monitoring situations, you won't need to stop monitoring signal quality while searching through reams of off-line, captured data. Potential problems can be quickly identified and resolved before they escalate.

Broadcasters, cable television companies, content producers and equipment manufacturers can accelerate R&D product development, systems integration, quality assurance procedures and field trial by using this real-time analysis tool to validate design, commission, monitor, and perform quality-of-service tests.

This product is co-developed with David Sarnoff Research Center. Sarnoff, based in Princeton, New Jersey, is one of the world's leading research and development facilities in electronic systems and solid-state electronics. A subsidiary of SRI International, Sarnoff has been a pioneer in many video technologies. These include the Shadow Mask Color Picture Tube, the liquid-crystal display, stereo broadcast television, the Grand Alliance digital high-definition (HDTV) system and digital broadcast satellite technology.
